Michael Stone

Michael Stone is a Stan Grof Certified Holotropic Breathwork Workshop Facilitator based in Los Angeles who was originally educated in the sciences and business. Despite success in those endeavors, he felt a lack of meaning in his life, and decided to leave it all behind and devote himself to a path of spiritual growth. This led him through studies in Stan Grof’s Holotropic Breathwork, Meditation, Tantra and Shamanism. Each of these has impacted him in unique ways, and ultimately, helped him find the answers he’s been seeking. In retrospect, he feels tremendously grateful for the profound changes he has experienced in himself. He wakes up each day with a feeling of gratefulness for all the blessings he’s received and for what the new day will bring. These experiences have inspired him to give back to others. In addition to organizing and facilitating Stan Grof Holotropic Breathwork workshops in Los Angeles, he is a Certified Massage Therapist, a Shamanic Practitioner, an Entrepreneur, a Business Consultant and a Meditation Teacher.  You can contact him at:  [email protected]
